Ruby on Rails: Native route constraint for authentication
Since Rails 7, there's more and more tooling that enables us, developers, to roll our own authentication. Devise is great and has been an amazing companion over the years. It also has this neat little feature - an authenticated route constraint which "hides" certain routes from people that are not signed in.

Using Action Policy for a Ruby on Rails App: The Basics
As much as this article is about user authorization, there's something important we need to cover: user authentication. Without it, any authorization policies we try to define later on will be useless. But there is no need to write authentication from scratch. Let's use Devise.

I've seen the Omniauth gem. But based on this gist it seems this gem is more suitable for web apps. Here is the quote from that gist.

Unleash Devise-Enabling All Modules
:omniauthable is a special module in devise but it's also in charge of a very common feature: letting users log in by using a user's session from another website, e.g. Facebook, Google, Twitter, Github, etc. It's kind of delegating authentication work to those big tech companies. Nowadays, most companies follow OAuth's standards to build the authentication workflow (OAuth always means OAuth 2.0 in this article). However, each company may have different dialects when you communicate via OAuth. This module is called :omniauthable because devise has integrated with the gem omniauth, which provides a unified interface to realize the login process via OAuth.

A First Look at Hanami 2 for Ruby
In general, even though the Hanami ecosystem lacks any "plug-and-play" solutions such as Devise, you can use many existing libraries not tightly coupled to Ruby on Rails. For authentication, you can use Warden, OmniAuth or Rodauth. For uploads there is Shrine. The pagination is built into ROM. Integration with exception catchers such as Rollbar is easy.

Social Login in Rails with Rodauth
In this article, I show how to set up the rodauth-omniauth gem I had created in a Rails app, and customize the flow. This gem provides a much more integrated solution compared to Devise, in the sense that it implements the OmniAuth callback phase, automatically registering the user and/or logging them in, and persisting their external identities. It supports multiple providers, and essentially codifies this OmniAuth guide.
OmniAuth provides a standardized interface for authenticating with various external providers. Once the user authenticates with the provider, it's up to us developers to handle the callback and implement actual login and registration into the app. There is a wiki page laying out various scenarios that need to be handled if you want to support multiple providers, showing that it's by no means a trivial task.

rodauth-omniauth released: login & registration with multiple external providers
My memory is failing me on the specifics, but I posted this issue on roda, which then led to this other issue in omniauth, plus 2 MRs on omniauth and rack-protection for doc updates.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Devise and OmniAuth you can also consider the following projects:
